Completely agree. Did you get a job after doing their course? You can generally get this for $10-15. Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. I can't speak for all schools because I attended DBC a while ago and got a great job after in a position that used none of the languages I learned there. I know I wouldn't be as motivated or at least a lot more distracted if I were to learn on my own at home. I'm not expecting to instantly be making six figures right out of finishing the bootcamp course (though this is possible), but I'm looking to at least get my foot in the door in the industry I attend to make my living in. Learn to code because there is something you want to build, not because you think you should or because you think there's money in it. After that get a book or take a course on something like TeamTreehouse in the stack you like.

I decided to pick this up regardless of the bootcamp I will take. If you can, get a mentor. Then come up with a project you want to develop (should be large enough to take some time and be challenging but not too large so as to be impossible / discouraging).

But if you're serious about learning to code, and you're willing to put in a lot of your own time before, during, and after the bootcamp, these programs can be a great way to immerse yourself, learn the basics, and get started. The people who put in extra effort to complete every assignment, come in on weekends, and spend long nights doing homework during the week are the ones who found a job after graduating. I think the whole machine learning and DevOps areas will suit me best. Python Bootcamp … Free. Can second this, nice and easy introduction but doesn’t progress too quickly so I wouldn’t call it a boot camp - think OP is looking for something a bit mor strenuous, I’m doing Dataquest atm and finding it easy to set my own pace, Can vouche for this.

Subreddit for posting questions and asking for general advice about your python code. Although I disagree, my company had really only been looking at more senior individuals and turned away many many good candidates. Since then it's been hard to look back and refer friend to the company since r recruiters won't even give them a chance. Reddit gives you the best of the internet in one place. Comprehensive.

I remember many classes where some students were on their phones or generally not paying attention. You are an electrical engineer and you are asking how to learn programming?

I basically equate the knowledge you get out of code schools with this level.
